"Our residents actively get permits during the spring, summer and fall to hold tag sales and many use the town's swap shop at the recycling center so we thought this would a be a great way to combine those things," said Tracy Berns, the administrative assistant at the Parks and Recreation Department.

This is the first time the town will hold such an event, Berns said. The tag sale will be held at the Community House on Jan. 25 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

"Anyone interested in getting a table can call or email us for an application. It's $30 for a 12 by 12 foot table," she said.

For residents who want to do some spring cleaning early, but don't want to rent a table, the department will accept donations of items on Jan. 24 from noon to 3 p.m.

"We are looking for clean items in good condition," she said.

Proceeds from the event will go toward the Trelease Scholarship Fund.

"This fund was created to assist families in Longmeadow that may not be able to participate in our fee-based programs," Berns said.

Berns said she hopes it will be a repeat event.

"We have seen a lot of interest in the tag sale so far," she said. "I think it's a simple way to bring the community together during the winter months."
